Can we stop picking on this startup? They're just hardware hobbyists, give them a break.

    Outside of showing ads, Google is an everything hobbyist.

    Well they're certainly not a video game streaming hobbyist.

    And I'm still sad to this day about this.

    Yeah... Stadia was actually good. I wish they'd just come out and make a promise that if they shut the service down in the next 10 years they'd refund everyone's purchases.

    That's what they ended up doing anyways, but having a guarantee might have gotten it to the critical mass that it needed.

    You joke, but Google does not take hardware as seriously as they should. I say this as an owner of a Pixel 7. I actually really like the hardware, but the simplicity and clean look of the software is why I actually love the phone. I have to baby the phone because I know Google doesn't actually care even if they swear up and down they do.
